Monitoring & Management

 

SolarMagic™ monitoring and management solutions allow any PV system owner to “touch” their real-time data, monitor system performance and manage up-time to ensure optimal usage across the entire installation or array.  Delivering a complete solution of hardware and services provides added value to PPA providers, system integrators, installers, and financiers. SolarMagic by National Semiconductor leverages design, development and manufacturing expertise to deliver reliable solutions specifically targeted at the PV market.

The quality of a PV system not only depends on the hardware used, but also on the exact implementation given environmental parameters.  The SolarMagic system manager (including an AC energy meter, data logger, and Internet gateway), ensures system owners meet projected power performance yields with the data available.  Data is gathered, reported, and stored online and accessed from anywhere at anytime.

MYPVDATA® Portal

Through the MYPVDATA portal, system owners access single- and multi-site data and customize the user interface to get the most value out of the data.  With access to daily, weekly, and monthly monitoring data and reports, operations and maintenance (O&M) costs are reduced as the intricacies of the installation are understood.  Each unique installation increases ROI by minimizing excess maintenance and maximizing performance through monitoring the best installation set up. Access to array, panel, and string-level data mean inefficiencies are easily corrected by setting notification alerts that trigger the system to act (automatically or manually).  With a single click, reporting and feedback become seamless.
